Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is the sealing of the complete crawl space from the floor to side walls (and even the ceiling sometimes). This process is done to prevent excess moisture and water vapors from entering and damaging the crawl space. Excess moisture and water vapors can cause mold and mildew to build inside the crawl space and pollute the air system inside your house. The crawl space can affect 50% of the air of your house, and once the air is mixed with mold or mildew, it can cause severe health problems. Not to mention other issues like pest problems.
